ID help !! - Cyano ou Diatoms ?

Folks,

Would you be kind to help me to identify what is it? It's covering the DSB around.

It goes in light and dark places ... sometimes even in the between the LR.

Any suggestions how to get rid off it?

Water readings.

NO3 0
NO2 0
PH 8.28
Sal 1026
Temp 26C ( sorry )
Ca 470
Alk 9dKH
RO/DI repository water with 0 TDS.
Skimmer throwing about 100ml/day of wet "juice."

my best regards

Adriano

It's new. About 9 months old.

Is there anything I can do to anticipate its desapear like Lighting or Flow?

I have 3 MH being 2x150W and 1x250W + 4x40W actinic 3 for Lights

For circulation I have an Amp Master 3600 moving about 2000G/H at 4.5' distributed in 6 exits at the top of the display and 2x Turbelle Stream 6000 simulating Interval 2 at 7095 Controller.

Regards
